Music for the Muse: “All About Eva” Soundtrack
Something you may have learned about me is that I get inspiration from music and All About Eva is no exception. If I can’t have books, I better have music. If I can’t have either, is life worth living?
What I’m doing is a little risky because it might be TMI for some people who prefer to preserve the mystery of things like this. Just like how some readers don’t want authors to say (admit) “Character X is based on Celebrity Y” and ruin their imagination, some may take offense that their Number One Song of All Time inspired one of my sex scenes.
But I’m gonna risk it anyway.
Many writers create a playlist to correspond with the project they are working on, and below you will find mine.
It’s a pretty eclectic list of music. I got classic R&B, disco, ska, alternative…and this is just the main list. There are a handful of other songs, but the ones listed below are my go-tos.
